I am in!!!!! Once I am over feeling like absolute death from AF, I was so so unwell over the weekend & yesterday from it. Today I am feeling better, so may get out there this arvo when DP is home on break. But gimme a start day of the 5th (tomorrow) jic lol.
Chody (so weird calling you that again LOL), what did you use to time your intervals?
Shan - I'll add you to the list when I'm back on my comp. To time I have a pedometer on my phone (footsteps) that I'm using to keep track of my 10000 steps each day and I used the timer on that.
Awesome thanks hun! I just downloaded the c25k lite android app, think I will go better not having to remind myself to look at a timer & having something telling me when to change pace lol
Ok, so I just updated the list above to include our new group members.
Shan - I hope the app works for you! I personally like looking at the timer. For me it works cause I know how long I have left to run, rather than just wondering how much longer there is to go and assuming I wont make it and therefore giving up.
Zap and doubletrouble - Welcome! I hope you enjoy your first sessions
Okay, I am back and alive! It wasn't that bad really - but my legs feel a bit like jelly and what are those starry things appearing before my eyes right now hahah! But I did it!!! Yay for me!!!
Yay Ausgirl! That's fantastic! It's a great feeling to have completed it hey! I think that once you get going and can stay mentally tough it's not so bad. I'm planning on attempting the second session tomorrow....
Just wanted to add - for someone who thought they couldn't run more than a couple of hundred meters yesterday you should be sooooo proud!!

I know! I was actually no so badly out of breath, but my legs were hurting! And (I ran down a sort of out of the way road near me so no one could see me) when I was halfway and time to turn around, I realised it was uphill for the way back!
Hi ladies! I would love to join you too. I completed the program a few years ago but have let myself get SO unfit again - I've got the iPhone app and will do my first run tonight. I have treadmill so I'll use that - it's been begging me for some attention for months now!!
Yay ash! Another one on board! I'll add you to the list later.
Good luck for everyone starting today! Let us know how you all go! I plan on doing my second run layer but I have to wait for DH to get home to watch DD. I don't fancy running with a pram lol!
so I wanted I have started these things a few times but never really got very far and wanted to do the first run to make sure I was really committed and guess what???? I survived the first session so count me in girls!!
Well done ausgirl especially with the hill on the way back.
I have downloaded a 5kfree app for my ipod touch (it has the first 4 sessions free and have to pay to upgrade but figured this is a good way to test the waters so to speak) I liked that I could play my music and it interupted the music to tell me to walk/run. I did have a run in with a magpie.... how is everyone else feeling about the maggies? thinking I am going to have to resort to an ice-cream helmet!! legs are a little like jelly but I am actually looking forward to the next session lol
I do have another question... I have just finished AF (which is another good reason to start now) and do worry how I will keep running through AF as it is quite painful... anyone else have any ideas? I really do wonder how people exersice run when she visits? lucky for me the painful part is usually only 4 days or so.... do I just take them off?
Kelebek - yay for joining! I'm not sure about exercising during AF but I don't see why it would be a problem to have a few days off...
AFM - I just completed day 2 I found it hard today as it had been raining today meaning that the oval I ran around was saturated. As a result my shoes and socks were saturated a few mins into it which didn't make for very comfortable running but I was determined. On a good note I completed 6 laps today - an extra half a lap from the other day
About half way through I was feeling pretty shattered and not sure I would be able to make it. However I jogged in each bit and I walked in each bit where appropriate. By the end of each walk I managed to get my breath back enough for the next run.
I'm not sure I love the app I've downloaded (C25K) as the voice just says 'run' and 'walk'. Another one I used ages ago was a bit more motivational in telling you how long left, keep it up etc.
Which ones are others using?
I'm so glad I've started. The first time is such a psychological barrier.
